DavidTravel Itinerary Highlights include:
Discover a virtual treasure trove
of relics, ruins and remnants of the roots of modern
civilization in alluring Turkey along with extraordinary
phenomena that you’ll only see on this remarkable journey. The
limestone-dotted expanse of Cappadocia takes your breath away
with its tufa stone made of ash, mud and lava shaped into an
astounding landscape of cone-shaped monoliths in various colors.
Then there are the amazing fairy chimneys that were formed from
boulders of hard basalt. And nature flaunts its finest as you
cruise the Turkish coast amidst sparkling clear waters,
beautiful coves, pine-clad landscapes and ancient historical
sites. You’ll come across remarkable villages that have merged
modern living with wonderful time-honored traditions that
include a sincere and gracious welcome for visitors from other
lands. Churches, museums, palaces and theaters tell you the
amazing story of the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires that
inhabited this land over the centuries.
• Discover
Cappadocia’s ancient rock cut dwellings and vast
underground cities, complete with stables, markets and elaborate
churches
Turkey is a land of vast open spaces, massive mountain
ranges, fertile valleys and rugged coastline, fast-growing
cities and sleepy villages, bustling neon-lit seaside resorts
and unfrequented beaches.
A rich history has left an indelible mark on Turkey, and the
country overflows with historic sites and archaeological wonders
set in a varied and beautiful landscape. The Mediterranean
coastline is punctuated with well-preserved Greco-Roman cities
such as Pergamom and Ephesus, while the austere and rugged
Anatolian plateau has cave churches hidden away in the
improbable fairytale landscape of Cappadocia. Istanbul, still
very much the pulse of the nation, has even more to offer, with
Roman aqueducts, Byzantine churches and Ottoman mosques and
palaces.
But however deep its past, Turkey is now a thrusting and dynamic
society that embraces cultural, economic and political change
while consciously seeking to retain the best of its
multicultural heritage and time-honored traditions of
hospitality.
